Been trying to install this for about 24 hours straight nowFirst I tried with fresh install of Kubuntu and the 2 CD's

Same error time after time, mysql server can't be installed

So I gave up on the CD's and went for the DVD instead, downloaded and burned itTried to boot from it and get the following message after a few seconds

Loading...isolinux: Disk Error 80: ax = 4280, drive 9F

Help please, I want this to work

Hmmm... these type of problems are usually down to a faulty optical drive or an error on the burnt DVD. Try burning another copy but set your burning software to write at 4x or possible 2x and then see if that fixes the problem. If not it might well be your drive... try installing a relacement.

I don't know if you have this sorted or not - I came across the mysql failing to install on an update I did, checking the logs it reported the mysql version was at the newest version - maybe you have the same condition causing this error to display.
